mends organization among women, the object of that organization is not to influence economic conditions, but "to uphold the demand that the purity which is theoretically the groundwork of virtue in women should be possible to all women."
 Now, we would ask Dr. Emily Blackwell and our readers: Do you think it possible for women, or men, to cultivate potent independence and self-respect while they are economic ally dependent upon class which exists only by the exertlon of phys ical force from a vantage ground un- attainable by the working people?
 In order that this question may be answered intelligently it may be necessary to read socialistic litera- ture, and that is at the command of all who seek information.

WINGS OF THE SAME BIRD.

As we have many times asserted, there is no difference in the princi- pies of the two parties labelled 'dem- ocrat' and Republican," they are merely two wings of the same bird ofprey-Monopoly. of They are always ready to join hands when it is thought necessary to put down the cause of Labor. This was recently demon strated at the election in Chicago and other Western towns. By their union and the re-iteration of the usual campaign bugbear clap-trap that the Union Labor Party was party of anarchists, it was defeated; and the democratic" organs of the country glorify this merging and loss of their faction into the one called republican
 Yet so far from being anarchical Tn its action and tendencies, even its enemies admit that the United La- bor Party was orderly and honorable in all its methods-that it had made a campaign cry, Not a man on our ticket shall owe his election to votes purchased with money or rum;" that "there was a notable absence of drunkenness" and that "not a seri- ous row occurred during the day." On the other hand, we are told that "the republicans and their demo- cratic allies throughout the day, in- dustriously distributed flaming dodg- CTS presenting the issue of the cleo tion, as the American flag against the Red;' but when a Labor man at- tempted to distribute circular showing that the fusion candidate for mayor was an "Orangeman," he was promptly arrested. It has also come to light that the parading of the red flag was trick of the fusion lst party to stir up the ignorant pre- ludlces of the multitude against the Labor Party under the impression, of course, that the same was unfurled as an opposing emblem to the Amer lcan flag by the workingmen.- Hartford Examiner.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The little devices of labor to eke out a scanty wages by the assistance of patchwork legislation do not greatly interest us. Such baubles as the weekly payment bill, meddling between employer and employed to the advantage of either or neither, have but the slightest bearing on the labor question. Schemes to get a few cents more pay or few min utes less work, to circumvent boss or to punish scab are but bubbles on the surface of a current deep and strong. Let children amuse them selves with these things. No pinch ing and patching and petty legisla- ting will bring prosperity to industry in d falling market. No local plas- ter of arbitration will last the night out. - IIinsted Press.

THE BOYCOTT WILL SURVIVE.

Three members of New Haven Typographical Union have been ad- judged guilty of the "crime" of boy cottIng by the Supreme Court of Connecticut, and the treasury of the Union has been depleted to the tune of some four hundred dollars by way of punishment. And will boycott ting now cease, and will all boycot
 ters who do not abstain from the practice be brought before the court and dealt with as our brothers have been? That depends, We think, solely upon the condition in life of those who boycott. The association of which the honorable" man who sat in judgment became member after his admission to the bar, the society of which the learned counsel who conducted the prosecution Is a shining light, will shll boycott the scab practitioner who IS content with less compensation for his services than the Bar Association may pre- scribe. The gentlemen learned in the law, who hold up their hands in holy horror when workingmen 'let alone" those who deny to Labor a fair reward, will continue to boycott,

NEW HAVEN, MAY Z, 1887.
WE DON'T OBJECT.

In communication printed m another column, Mir. Sargent, the well-known hardware manufacturer, says:
 II was not aware before that your pa per objected to the employment in Amer lcan factories of foreign-born wOrkmen."
 Is MT. Sargent aware of it now? The expression used by the writer in our local columns was "cheap foreign labor" Cheap native labor would be about as bad. And by cheap labor is meant labor which is paid less than is consistent with decent and healthful living.
 But we must not forget that even the "cheap" laboror is the unfortu- nate creature of circumstances. The unskilled workman, with little or no technical knowledge, be he native or foreign-born, must live; his un- skilled hands are not able to cope with the deft fingers of the trained mechanic; nor is he to blame for his condition. Surely, Mir. Sargent does not believe that we would see the unskilled laborers starve for want of the chance to earn living.
 Nor would it materially improve the condition of the workers if they were all skilled mechanlcs. Their skill would not be needed. Besides, the Claw of supply and demand" would, under our present industrial regime, "regulate' their wages down to level about equal to the average wages of tke workers, skilled and unskilled, to-day.
 We said that if all were skilled, their skill would not be needed; nor would it. Children can do some things that are necessary to be done as well as the most skillful artzan. To tend . machine which performs the work that required the trained labor of many men, does not demand, in many cases, skill on a par with that of a coal shoveller, And since technical knowledge is not required, why should Mir. Sargent, or any other manufacturer, trouble himself about the accomplishments of his employees? If he can procure work people from China or Zululand, who are content to live like animals. why should he not do it? These are the questions the guileless manufactur- CTS innocently ask themselves, and their answering echo is attuned to the ring of gold.

ATTACK THE CAUSE.

ATTACK THE CAUSE.
 No one can for moment doubt the sincerity and excellent intent of a woman like Frances E. Willard, of the Women's Christian Temper ance Union, or fail to appreciate her willing sacrifice for the good of. oth- CTS; nor can we deny the existence of the terrible evils she is attempting to correct. They exist-but why? If Miss Willard would find remedy let her answer the question and find the cause. Palliatives are not rem edies.
 lntemperance and social impurity are the legitimate results of our cap italistic system which condemns the masses to poverty and despair while it overfeeds and .inflames the privi- legged class to wantOnness. And while such conditions exist it seems to us sheer folly to engage in super ficial attempts at reform.
 Laurence Gronlund says:
 "The difference between our so-caled virtuous and vicious classes is far more difference of temptation than of virtue. The vlrtuOuS person is yirtuOus because everything tempts him to be virtuous."
 Not that we would deny the exist ence of many isolated cases of heroic and successful struggles against temptations, but when generation after generation goes down in the bitter struggle, what inducement is there for those who live ignorant slave lives to withstand the tempta- tion of vice? And what restraint is there upon the class who may revel unpunished Tn the wealth they stir neither hand nor foot to create?
 Socialists have far more import ant work to do than to waste their energies in battling with the incl dents of a corrupt social and politi- cal system. Their mission is a rad ical one, the accomplishment of which will bring lasting and increas- Ing benefits to society.
 Let the capitalist system reap the fruits of its being. It is not in our province to do aught to take from that system any of its horrors. We attack the cause by exposing its in- eyltable results, and in the work of destroying the cause, we invite all who have the welfare of humanity at heart to join with us, With the death of capitalism intemperance and vice will disappear, for the temptation to do wrong will have been removed. And the Socialis State in providing work for all and securing to all the results of their | labor, will tempt men to duty.

dered them the service required. Your work is done. Go.
 Go where? Seek another employ CT who needs your skill, and if you fail-why, go down on your knees and beg for work at any price-any kind of work, so that you don't starve.
 And then? An, then Mir. Sar- gent, or some other benevolent en- ployer, will earn your loyal gratitude by giving you work just to keep you from starving, as he did the Russian Jews imported by some benevolent Hebrew society q few years ago. And now you must work steady in order to pay the debts you incurred while looking for work. You find a cheaper rent, and your wife be- gins to thnk she had better earn something towards defraying living expenses, thus adding one more to the competing wage-workers. There's nothing very restful in this picture, is there? Yet you'll admit it's about as restfu as wage working, perhaps.

There are some folks who believe that by taxing the landlords to the limit of the land values held by them, the people could obtain con- trol of the land and consequently become independent enough of boss es to compel tangible recognition of their valuable services. True enough. but in order to tax land lords the people must first be able to control the government winch lays the taxes. And when the work ing people have control of the gov ernment what stands in the way of using the law of eminent domain to the extent necessary to obtain con- trol of land and the great industries :? And what scheme of cooperation can compare with that of the whole people acting through the agency of their public servants subject to the will of their constituents?

Administration papers are begin the presidential boom early. Last Sundays New York Stor was es- peclaIly gracious to powderly be- cause he gushed over President Cleveland's little play of policy re- garding the tenure of land by settlers out West. The probability is that the settlers and the railroad claims referred to are myths. It's all very well to write big messages on dummy cases, but the praise of Powderly is deemed valuable as yet by the ''democratic' party.
 A Maine K. of l.. paper says truly;
 "Members in the Order who will accept a position on the tail end of a political ticket for the sake of a little cheap n0to- riety and that, too, when the party is opposed to the principles of the k, of L., are not the kind of men wanted to lead the great host of laborers in this country"
 And they will not. These "dem- ocratic" and republican" Knights of Labor have invariably made miser- able failures as public servants or rep resentatives, as far as any benefit to the labor movement IS concerned. Even where they had the ability they had not the courage to offend their "boodle" party.
 The talk that has been going the rounds of the capitalist press about the SOcialistc Labor Party uniting with the anarchists, is about as sen- sible as the statement that the inter- ests of capitalists and wage-workers are identical. There can be no such union; but that many who are now anarchists, both capitalistic and oth- erwise, will see the error of their ways and become Socialists, we have every reason to believe, for we have faith in the ultimate triumph of Truth. And in the same way, for that matter, the capitalists will unite with the workingmen-when they find it to their interest to do so; and they will find it indispensable some day if they still have a hankering for the good things of the earth.

to shun, and to treat with scOrn and with contempt the scabs of their profession. And, may it please the court, the toilers of the land will continue to boycott. They may do so secretly, but they will do it all the more vigorously, and whether the fact is a matter of public inform ation or whether it is not, the party who is the object of Labor's wrath and righteous vengeance, will know that he is boycotted as well as though the sentence was proclaimed in words of living fire. What folly to expect the suppression of a practice by sentence of a court. Our earnings are our own, and their disburse- ment is a matter altogether regulated by our wish or our necessity. We propose to spend them, if not with our friend ds, certainly not with those who are on record as enemies of Or ganized Labor. And what law, what court, can make us deal where we do not wish to? No, no; the boycott will go on as long as there exists occasion for the practice. Whosoever denies fair wages gives notice that the element whose mis- sion is to secure them for all wage workers is not desired as customers. And the notice will be needed always. No sound may be heard from us after the provocation has been given by the offending party; but the word will be passed along the line just as surely, just as effectively, as if the same publicity had been given which has gotten our brothers in New Haven into trouble. No; tne boy colt will go on, despite judge and jury, and it will only die, it will only become a thing obsolete and forgot ten, when Justice triumphs and Right prevails. -7We Craftsman.
